Testing pull requests
You want to help evaluate a pull request? That's awesome, we'd love your help!
Whenever someone creates (or pushes an update to) a pull request, a snap is automatically built and released into an ephemeral channel unique to that pull request. You can see that happening as part of the status checks for that pull request. Note: This is done for amd64 only. If you would like to test another architecture that's excellent, it's just not automated-- please simply ask in the PR and one will be built for you.
You can test out the changes you see in the pull request by installing the snap from that channel:
$ sudo snap install nextcloud --channel=beta/pr-<number>
Once you're done testing, simply remove the snap:
$ sudo snap remove nextcloud
It's not recommended to test out half-baked pull requests on running instances. If you wish to disregard this warning, you can update an existing instance with:
$ sudo snap refresh nextcloud --channel=latest/beta/pr-<number>
Make sure to revert back to where you were once you've completed your testing:
$ sudo snap revert nextcloud
